ROBOT İLETİŞİM GÜVENLİĞİNDEKİ TEHDİTLER, ZAFİYETLER VE ÖNLEMLER: BİR İNCELEME

Öz

Ağların büyümesi ve teknolojinin hızlı ilerlemesi, robotik başta olmak üzere otomotiv, sağlık, askeri ve eğitim gibi birçok alanda robot kullanımının hızla artmasına yol açmış, bu durum ise çeşitli güvenlik endişelerini gündeme taşımıştır. Robot iletişimindeki güvenlik açıklarını tamamen ortadan kaldırmak neredeyse imkânsız olsa da, akademi ve sektör bu alandaki çalışmalarını aralıksız sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışmada, robotik alanında network, Internet of Things (IoT), Robot Operating System (ROS) ve diğer tabanlı yaklaşımları içeren güncel araştırmalar derlenmiş; robotik sistemlerde karşılaşılan güvenlik tehditleri, zafiyetler ve bunlara ilişkin kavramsal açıklamalar ayrıntılı olarak ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca, güvenli iletişim protokolleri, kriptografik yöntemler ve blockchain ile edge computing gibi güncel teknolojilerin güvenli robot iletişimine etkileri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, gelişen teknolojilerin robot iletişiminde güvenliği artırma konusunda umut vadettiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

THREATS, VULNERABILITIES AND MEASURES IN ROBOT COMMUNICATION SECURITY: A REVIEW

Abstract

The expansion of networks and the rapid advancement of technology have led to a significant increase in the use of robots across various domains, including robotics, automotive, healthcare, military, and education, thereby bringing numerous security concerns to the forefront. Although it is nearly impossible to completely eliminate security vulnerabilities in robot communication, academia and industry continue to pursue extensive research in this field. This study compiles and organizes recent research in robotics involving network-based, Internet of Things (IoT), Robot Operating System (ROS), and other related approaches, providing a detailed examination of security threats, vulnerabilities, and their conceptual explanations. Furthermore, secure communication protocols, cryptographic methods, and the impact of emerging technologies such as blockchain and edge computing on secure robot communication are discussed. The findings indicate that these evolving technologies hold considerable promise for enhancing the security of robot communications
